Reginald Charles (Rex) Ingamells (19 January 1913 – 30 December 1955) was an Australian poet, generally credited with being the leading light of the Jindyworobak Movement.[1]

Rex Ingamells was born in Orroroo to a Methodist minister, and attended Port Lincoln High School, where he became addicted to poetry. He later attended the University of Adelaide. After a trip at the turn of the thirties, Ingamells became fascinated with Indigenous Australian culture, and became inspired to found the Jindyworobaks a few years later.

In 1935, his first book Gum Tops was published. He died near Dimboola, Victoria in a car-crash in 1955.
